You think your president really, truly represents you and has your best interests in mind? You think that by voting you make a difference? You think that the government should take care of the economy, health care, and every possible aspect of your life? If so, think again or you will be in for a big surprise if you haven’t realized it as of now. If you already had intuitions about the parasitic, and fundamentally flawed nature of government but still couldn’t grasp it in its horrific totality then this is the book you need to read.

Anatomy of the StateMurray RothbardBest Price: $5.00Buy New $5.82(as of 05:45 EST - Details)Murray Rothbard came to me, or I came to him after years of admiring and following Ron Paul’s speeches and ideas. After reading anatomy of the state and other works from Rothbard, now I see where many of Ron Paul’s ideas originate. They come from Rothbard, and Rothbard’s ideas, at the same time, originate in Mises’ interpretation of life in the world throughout the lens of Austrian Economics and individualism.

If you identify yourself with Ron Paul, libertarianism, individualism and classical liberalism, then this is a book you need to read to know what we, as a civilization, are currently facing in the form of tyrannical governments, corrupt politicians and despotic ruling elites. Rothbard deconstructs many of those vague ideas and uncertain images we have about how things are and how things should be, to provide us with, instead, a very clear target of what’s wrong in this world and how we can respond to those who threaten our freedom to think, do, and be.

I highly recommend this book. But be warned, if you decide to go ahead and read it, your views on humanity and your own perspective of reality will be forever changed and there will be no coming back. And that, in this case, will always be good news, as keeping things the way we are will doom us all eventually.
